Meet Our GRSP Student: Laerke Kristensen!

We’re excited to welcome Laerke Kristensen from Horsens, Denmark, as our Rotary GRSP Scholar this year! Sponsored by the Brædstrup Rotary Club, Laerke is a 20-year-old student with a passion for culture, service, and leadership.

Laerke is deeply close to her family and credits them for sparking her love of travel and appreciation for different cultures. She’s been active in student leadership, local councils, and volunteer work—including with Save the Children in Denmark and SAVE in South Africa—experiences that shaped her desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

An avid reader and cyclist, Laerke also enjoys exploring new perspectives through books and outdoor adventures. Looking ahead, she hopes to pursue a career in international business, ideally combining her interests in economics, leadership, and travel.

Through the GRSP program, Laerke is eager to broaden her horizons, build lifelong friendships, and gain insights that will strengthen her ability to lead and serve on a global scale.
